ALL FRETS FLASHMOB
The ALL FRETS FLASHMOB is our version of an "off the street" band which welcomes all players of all skill levels to participate. The songs are easy and can often be played by ear or from the simple chord charts below. Directed by Doug Parsons, the FLASHMOB will perform as part of the Lincoln's New Salem Tour, the Abraham Lincoln Library & Museum tour, the Best of Springfield tour, and the Saturday evening ALL FRETS concert. Participants do not need to be part of every performance but must be part of the paid tour groups if they wish to perform in those venues. For those attending the Lincoln's New Salem Tour, there will be a brief meeting and rehearsal on WEDNESDAY, JULY 10th at 9AM in the CAPITOL II room on the 3rd floor of the hotel...additional rehearsals will be scheduled throughout the convention and posted in the registration area.
